Nagare and Horui looked over the Hokage Mountain that they stood on, out over the village. All of the devastation was still there, destroyed buildings, corpses, ashes...but at least all of the fires were put out, and the turmoil in the streets, the terrified villagers, and the active destruction, was at least ceased. It was night now, just earlier today everything had happened...the fight, the aftermath, and now this. Nagare stood there with his usual frown, unable to find anything positive of this moment. He had come to stop one threat, and ended up fighting another one entirely.
What was happening to this world? and what was happening to him? During the fight, he had felt that pressure again, the darkness overcoming him. He didn't exactly remember what had happened once it did, but when he regained consciousness, the fight was over...it couldn't have done much good. The world was changing, with Arashi's death as well as Sero's, with the Shichiouza, and the last five years of tension building. He didn't want to have to fight a war against the Shichiouza and all of the missing-ninja. As much as he didn't want to admit it, he was afraid of dying...
Horui wasn't present for the battle (as Nagare was learning to fight without relying on his kekkei genkai so much), but he had still processed Nagare's memories and therefore held the experience within his mind. He meditated on it over and over, trying to think of a way to stop the Demon within them. It wasn't really an actual Demon, per se, but rather a subconscious evil within Nagare's mind, most likely the result of strain on the ninja's brain and the constant "being two people at once" thing. Psychologically speaking, it was probably dissociative identity disorder, when added into the natural Sōseiji abilities, basically crammed three different people into the same mind...it was doing mental damage that could be permanent. They needed to think of a way to rid themselves of this dark version of Nagare, the evil within. Even with that problem fixed, they could still be killed, and death was the thing they wanted to avoid...
The only natural solution to prevent Nagare from dying was to become even stronger. He had mastered summoning, Ninjutsu, and a bit of the sword arts...but now he needed to take it to the top, and learn more. But with great power came the risk of the dark side of him coming, and killing those he cared for and those that were important. He couldn't always count on his kekkei genkai to save him from himself. He turned to face Horui, who was still looking out over the buildings. We're going to train. More. Horui just nodded, and thought back, I figured. I can read your thoughts, you know this already. Nagare smirked and continued. He always was the type to finish his point, even if the person listening already understood.
Fuuinjutsu. It's the only way to control this thing inside of me, inside of us. It will stop it from killing any more, and we can also use the art of sealing in additional ways during battle. Now, the only problem is, who will teach us... With that last thought, the sound of footsteps came from behind them.
